THE NOVEL ADAPTATION DRAFT
(Novel: a fictitious prose narrative of considerable length and complexity, portraying characters and usually presenting a sequential organization of action and scenes.)
RULES
1. We will be drafting for actors, directors and NOVELS! Here are the requirements, you must draft the following:
2. The actors and directors must be alive and you must draft the actor's current age. Therefore, you cannot draft Heath Ledger or Lynda Carter when she was 20.
3. There will be SIX Rounds of drafting in a snaking format.
4. You do not have to draft action books like Tom Clancy's Red October. If you think you can make a movie/tv show out of a book based on the 44th President, go for it.
5. When it is your turn to pick, you will have 2 hours to make your selection or you will forfeit your turn. So, I highly recommend you PM me you selections before it's your turn.
6. We'll conduct AT LEAST two rounds of drafting a day.
7. Drafting will commence between the hours of 9:30am and 10:00pm EST, between Monday and Friday.
8. Once the drafting rounds are completed, I will open up the rosters to the lightning round, where you can drop or add as many positions on your roster.
Additionally, AS AN OPTION, you will be able to add more characters to your roster and they can be villains, love interests, supporting characters, etc. The voters will decide if the additional spots helps or hurts your team.
9. There must be a minimum of 8 participants before we can begin this draft.
10. If you are interested in participating, please post as much in this thread.
11. Remember, you are drafting a movie or tv show. That includes miniseries or animation.
12. Once an actor has been drafted, you cannot draft the same actor. You can draft the same BOOK.
13. You cannot draft your NOVEL until the 4th Round.
14. I'll allow the character the actor is drafted to play to remain a secret until the Novel is revealed. So, for example, if you draft Ryan Reynolds to play President Nixon, you can draft Ryan Reynolds and keep it a secret as to the character he was drafted to play. That is your option. The guessing game as to a theme of a draft has always been part of the process and fun.
15. Drafting order will be done via Random.org
16. Sorry, but you can not draft a novel that has already been adapted. Ex. You can't draft Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows or Atlas Shrugged, but you can draft Quidditch Through the Ages. Lets be creative people. There are billions of books out there that haven't been brought to others attention. Find one.
17. If you do not send a description of the novel you selected, one will be found for you. Please keep in mind that this description/summary may effect voters opinion of your cast.
